I see the following icon in my Mac toolbar. It is related VPN and the onlyVPNI have had on my Mac is Aura VPN and Hotspot shield. It seems out of place for these and yet something regarding, I think Aura, is causing Apple Mail to give me at random time the second image. I did a clean install of MacOS from Time Machine hoping icon would go away but didn't. Apple says they don't recognize the icon.
Has anyone seen anything like this?

Time Machine no longer restores previous macOS versions. If you have reason to believe Aura VPN and / or "hotspot shield" is preventing your Mac from working, they need to be removed according to their instructions.
I have removed both VPN and icon still appears but I think Mail works OK at this point. I didn't use Time Machine to install MacOS. I used the Erase all content and settings and then used Time Machine to restore data etc. I don't really want to restore everything manually so I am thinking of using Migration Assistant but only restore 1 choice at a time. Reboot and see if icon shows. Continue until I see the icon show and then I will at least know where the icon is coming from.
The following is the dropdown for the toolbar icon when Aura it installed. When no VPN installed it shows just the bottom three items.
